    So now teaching kids to eat healthy and remain physically active is "Marxist"?

    Jesus (*)(*)(*)(*)ing H Christ in a handbasket you people are completely mental...

    Seriously, did you get up one morning and toss your alarm clock in the trash because you decided that it's helping you wake up was something a commie would do?

    Seek help...seriously.

    I am sorry, but that sounds like complete nonsense, and that is putting it mildly.

    Encouraging kids to eat healthy seems to be the First Lady's pet project. All that I can remember have had one. It seems fairly benign to me.

    But calling it Marxist,. or giving some half assed explanation like your post seems beyond ridiculous. Your post utterly fails to say how it equates to an economic system and instead resorts to intellectually tawdry rhetoric.

    Why is it up to Michelle my Belle to say what is healthy? Shouldn't that be up to parents to decide how to raise their children??? Did your mother listen to a political entity to raise you or did she do what her instincts told her??

    Physical activity.

    It's right there in the excerpt that you posted. You do read the (*)(*)(*)(*) that you post or do you just cut-n-paste it w/o even precursory glance?

    Why was it up to Nancy Reagan to tell kids to "Just Say NO to Drugs" (unless of course they are prescribed by a doctor and distributed by a pharmaceutical)?

    Drugs and food are two entirely different things. Food you cannot live without.
    Having said that Michelle my Belle has money appropriated to her cause by congress.

    Child nutrition bill 4.5 BILLION.

    The nation we love? You mean the fattest nation in the world? I don't know about you, but I'd like to say goodbye to that...

    Once it starts to require logic, it's out of the Republicans' realm

    Oh, I don't know.

    Seems clear to me that she was talking about eating. Not sure how that is Marxist, but I am certain that folks do not know the meaning of the term Marxist.

    This is why the homosexual activists want to get at the children at such an early age. They are evil.

    When the government is ...‘That's Why We Start With Kids, Right? We Can Affect Who They Will Be Forever’....that is marxist.

    I just found out from my kids that others are smuggling in salt to school. No kidding. I guess its better than drugs! But, it still tells me that policy is over the top. So, Mrs Obama better understand what behavior she is changing.

    Difference between school and home, is they are working on a specific budget. So, I can use sea salt or Mrs Dash or something to flavor the food and take the salt away. School cannot. So, they just make the food bland. Maybe some are smuggling in salt or some are not eating much and snacking at home.

    I'm all for healthier lunches (or maybe better would be healthier choices), but you cannot go extreme. It will backfire on some.

    Good grief, I would like to nominate you to the most petty conspiracy theorist on this forum.

    Next time please use a little thought before you make other wild assertions as this one.

    Oh no doubt, I can jsut envision, "Psst, hey slick, come here. Look what I got, a dime bag of Morton's, guaranteed to stimulate your taste buds with your organic salad. The girls go for this stuff. Just $5 for the bag."

    Well I thank you for that unsolicited critique. Perhaps you would like me to return the favor?

    But seeing how you have such a deep understanding of the issue at hand and apparently I don't, rather than lob your petty (and wholly unoriginal, uninspired, and quite frankly not well though out) insults in my direction you could explain it for me.

    I would love to see you flounder and stutter, and ultimately fail miserably, at taking Michelle Obama's encouragement to kids to develop healthy eating habits and equate that accurately to an economic system.

    Now would you be so kind as to flex what I assume is giant intellect and enlighten the unlearned here?

    Hmmm. I am going to have to say that your statement clearly is doing two things here. Allow me to elaborate.

    Obviously you are completely misrepresenting the words of Michelle Obama. I must say that it is intentional, inspired buy some sort of reflexive outrage that seems to not reflect reality.

    Second, obviously your post has not had a clear definiton of Marxism. Eating healthy is not Marxism. Encouraging kids to develop healthy eating habits is not Marxism.

    Ah yes, the pinnacle of the smart argument, the off topic bigotry.

    I fail to see any reality in your post. Certainly you cited nothing to support such a bigoted and ridiculous statement. I am fairly sure eating is not limited to the homosexual community, but you do manage to drag it in here, taking a cheap shot, as it certainly has nothign to do with the brilliant discourse being put forth here that healthy eating is Marxist.

    They understand exactly what your point is, Mike. They are just nit-picking every single word you've posted to argue THEIR losing POV.

    Her words are an example of a marxist mindset that she shares with her husband - the guy who admitted in his book that he deliberately went in search of marxist professors to hang out with, while in college.
